Tree surgery isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s a highly specialised profession that involves working at height, climbing and using power tools, so you want to be sure that your expert is suitably qualified and experienced. If they aren’t they could cause harm to the tree, as well as to you and your property - so make sure you pick smartly.
The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) is one of the most recognised schemes to certify that a tree surgeon meets the minimum requirements. If you’re considering doing some tree surgery DIY, bear in mind that a professional is worth hiring for the health of your tree, but more importantly, for your safety.

Some tree surgery tasks may require more skill and time to complete. For example, if the tree is hazardous or diseased, you can expect to pay around £50 - £200 more than the average price, depending on the severity of the problem. If accessibility to your tree is difficult, you will also pay more for the labour costs.
Unfortunately, trees can’t talk, making it tricky to know when there is a problem and if a tree surgeon is required. If you notice any of these problems with your tree, it's worth calling a tree surgeon for some expert advice. They’ll often give you a quote for free!
